CELL CYCLE REGULATION
3
Cell Cycle Review http://highered.mcgraw- hill.com/sites/0072495855/student_vi ew0/chapter2/animation__mitosis_and _cytokinesis.html
4
Cell Cycle Checkpoints In order to have normal growth & development cells need to coordinate timing and rate of cell division
5
Checkpoints Cell cycle has checkpoints ◦ Cell is told to STOP or GO to the next step in the cycle ◦ Controlled by signals Signals show whether processes were completed right
6
Signals Animals usually have built-in STOP signals until they are overridden by GO signals
7
Checkpoints 3 main checkpoints G 1 ◦ Can DNA synthesis begin? G 2 ◦ Was DNA synthesis done correctly? ◦ Can mitosis start? Spindle (during mitosis) ◦ Are the chromosomes attached to the spindles? ◦ Can the chromatids separate correctly?
8
G 1 Checkpoint Most important decision “restriction point” If GO ◦ Cell goes on to S phase & copies DNA ◦ Internal signals: cell growth (size) and nutrition ◦ External signals: “growth factors” If STOP ◦ Cell exits cell cycle and goes into G 0 phase
9
G 0 Phase Non-dividing, differentiated state Most human cells are in G 0 ◦ Liver cells – in G 0 but can go back to the cell cycle b/c of external cues ◦ Nerve/muscle cells – very specialized; in G 0 & can never divide
10
G 1 Checkpoint Most important decision “restriction point” If GO ◦ Cell goes on to S phase & copies DNA ◦ Internal signals: cell growth (size) and nutrition ◦ External signals: “growth factors” If STOP ◦ Cell exits cell cycle and goes into G 0 phase ◦ G 0 phase is a nondividing state
11
GO Signals What signals cell to “go?” Protein signals that promote cell growth & division ◦ Internal factors Promoting factors ◦ External factors Growth factors Primary mechanism of control ◦ Phosphorylation By kinase enzymes Either activates or inactivates cell signals
12
Internal Signals Signals activated by a protein called Cdk: cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) ◦ Kinase = enzyme that catalyzes a transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to another molecule phosphorylation
13
Internal Signals Cdks need to bind to another protein called cyclin in order to be active as a protein kinase ◦ When cyclin binds to Cdk create a cyclin-Cdk complex The creation of this complex triggers cell to go from G1 to S
14
cyclin-Cdk complex
15
Interaction of Cdk’s & different cyclins triggers the stages of the cell cycle
16
Internal Signals cyclin-Cdk complex serves as checkpoint ◦ If DNA is damaged in G1, p21 is made ◦ P21 binds to the Cdk’s in G1 this prevents cyclin from activating the Cdks Cell cycle is paused and DNA is repaired ◦ p21 degrades after DNA repair now cyclins can bind with Cdk’s
17
External Signals Growth factors ◦ coordination between cells ◦ protein signals released by body cells that stimulate other cells to divide density-dependent inhibition crowded cells stop dividing each cell binds a bit of growth factor not enough activator left to trigger division in any one cell anchorage dependence to divide cells must be attached to a substrate “touch sensor” receptors
18
Growth Factors Experiment
19
Growth Factor Signals E2F nucleus cytoplasm cell division nuclear membrane growth factor protein kinase cascade nuclear pore chromosome Cdk cell surface receptor P P P P P E2F Rb
20
G2 Checkpoint Maturation-promoting factor (MPF) = type of cyclin-Cdk complex ◦ peaks of MPF correspond to peaks of cyclin ◦ Promotes mitosis by phosphorylating other protein kinases triggers fragmentation of nuclear envelope ◦ Cell goes from G 2 into Mitosis
21
Spindle Checkpoint Spindle (M phase) Checkpoint ◦ Ensures all chromosomes are properly attached to spindles Need an anaphase promoting complex (APC) to move onto anaphase ◦ If kinetochores have not attached to spindles, signal sent and APC is kept inactive ◦ when kinetochores are attached, APC is activated triggers breakdown of cyclin and of proteins that hold sister chromatids together
22
Cdk / G 1 cyclin Cdk / G 2 cyclin (MPF) G2G2 S G1G1 C M G 2 / M checkpoint G 1 / S checkpoint APC Active Inactive Active Inactive Active mitosis cytokinesis MPF = Mitosis Promoting Factor APC = Anaphase Promoting Complex Replication completed DNA integrity Chromosomes attached at metaphase plate Spindle checkpoint Growth factors Nutritional state of cell Size of cell
24
Cancer Transformation = normal cell is converted to a cancer cell
25
Growth Factors and Cancer Growth factors can create cancers ◦ proto-oncogenes normally activates cell division growth factor genes become oncogenes (cancer-causing) when mutated if switched “ON” can cause cancer example: RAS (activates cyclins) ◦ tumor-suppressor genes normally inhibits cell division if switched “OFF” can cause cancer example: p53
26
Cancer & Cell Growth Cancer is essentially a failure of cell division control ◦ unrestrained, uncontrolled cell growth What control is lost? ◦ lose checkpoint stops ◦ gene p53 plays a key role in G 1 /S restriction point p53 protein halts cell division if it detects damaged DNA options: stimulates repair enzymes to fix DNA forces cell into G 0 resting stage keeps cell in G 1 arrest causes apoptosis of damaged cell ALL cancers have to shut down p53 activity
27
DNA damage is caused by heat, radiation, or chemicals. p53 allows cells with repaired DNA to divide. Step 1 DNA damage is caused by heat, radiation, or chemicals. Step 1 Step 2 Damaged cells continue to divide. If other damage accumulates, the cell can turn cancerous. Step 3 p53 triggers the destruction of cells damaged beyond repair. ABNORMAL p53 NORMAL p53 abnormal p53 protein cancer cell Step 3 The p53 protein fails to stop cell division and repair DNA. Cell divides without repair to damaged DNA. Cell division stops, and p53 triggers enzymes to repair damaged region. Step 2 DNA repair enzyme p53 protein p53 protein p53 — master regulator gene
28
Development of Cancer Cancer develops only after a cell experiences ~6 key mutations (“hits”) ◦ unlimited growth turn on growth promoter genes ◦ ignore checkpoints turn off tumor suppressor genes (p53) ◦ escape apoptosis turn off suicide genes ◦ immortality = unlimited divisions turn on chromosome maintenance genes ◦ promotes blood vessel growth turn on blood vessel growth genes ◦ overcome anchor & density dependence turn off touch-sensor gene
29
What causes these “hits”? Mutations in cells can be triggered by UV radiation chemical exposure radiation exposure heat cigarette smoke pollution age genetics
30
Tumors Mass of abnormal cells ◦ Benign tumor abnormal cells remain at original site as a lump p53 has halted cell divisions most do not cause serious problems & can be removed by surgery ◦ Malignant tumor cells leave original site lose attachment to nearby cells carried by blood & lymph system to other tissues start more tumors = metastasis impair functions of organs throughout body
31
Traditional treatments for cancers Treatments target rapidly dividing cells ◦ high-energy radiation kills rapidly dividing cells ◦ chemotherapy stop DNA replication stop mitosis & cytokinesis stop blood vessel growth
32
New “miracle drugs” Drugs targeting proteins (enzymes) found only in cancer cells ◦ Gleevec treatment for adult leukemia (CML) & stomach cancer (GIST) 1st successful drug targeting only cancer cells Novartes without Gleevec with Gleevec
